1. INTRODUCTION The declaration of COVID-19 as a global pandemic by the World Health Organisation led to the disruption of effective teaching and learning in many schools in South Africa. The majority of learners in various grades spent less time in class due to the phased-in approach and rotational/ alternate attendance system that was implemented by various provinces. Consequently, the majority of schools were not able to complete all the relevant content designed for specific grades in accordance with the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements in most subjects. As part of mitigating against the impact of COVID-19 on the current Grade 12, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) worked in collaboration with subject specialists from various Provincial Education Departments (PEDs) developed this Self-Study Guide. The Study Guide covers those topics, skills and concepts that are located in Grade 12, that are critical to lay the foundation for Grade 12. The main aim is to close the pre-existing content gaps in order to strengthen the mastery of subject knowledge in Grade 12. More importantly, the Study Guide will engender the attitudes in the learners to learning independently while mastering the core cross-cutting concepts. 2|Page
2. HOW SHOULD WE USE THIS STUDY GUIDE? 1. This study guide addresses content and offer strategies to understand the preparation of the Cash Flow Statement, in a piecemeal approach, with consolidation activities to conclude. 2. The explanations and activities are intended to supplement and re-inforce work you may have covered in previous Grades. 3. They proceed from the short, simple focused examples to more complex calculations and interpretation of information. 4. It is important to allocate sufficient time to: • Carefully read the explanations provided; underline or highlight the key concepts, difficult vocabulary, important dates and relevant amounts. • Interrogate the worked example to gain an understanding of the message being conveyed or the sequence of events being illustrated. 5. Attempt the activities on you own; make constant reference to the explanatory notes, but avoid referring to the suggested answers before completing an activity. 6. Compare your answers to the suggested answers attached, and do your corrections using a different colour pen. Note that you will learn more by discovering your weaknesses (when you get things wrong), and making an effort to understand why your thinking was not in line with what was expected. 7. The activities provided may not be sufficient to fine-tune your skills. Always refer to similar questions from past examination papers for this purpose. Repetitive practice is always valuable. 8. Become familiar with the use of Answer Books and prepared writing material as this is the trend with all Accounting examinations. PRE-AMBLE: • The Cash Flow Statement is covered in Term 1, under Financial Statements of Companies. • It will feature in the Accounting P1 (Financial Reporting and Evaluation). • Recent trends on this topic focus mainly on calculations of specific amounts to complete the Cash Flow Statement or completing the Cash Flow Statement by finding the missing amounts and making appropriate use of brackets. • Interpretation of Cash Flow Statement is addressed with the “Interpretation of Financial Statements”, and is assessed in a separate Question. 3|Page
3. THE CASH FLOW STATEMENT A BASIC EXPLANATION A Cash Flow Statement is a financial statement that summarizes the changes in the cash and cash equivalents position, over a specific financial period. It shows the money (cash / funds) that came into the business (inflow) and the manner in which this money was used (outflow of cash). This Statement gives an indication of how well a company is managing its cash resources, to settle debt obligations and to fund operating activities. It complements the Statement of Financial Position and the Statement of Comprehensive Income, as a component of the Annual Report. 3.1 KEY CONCEPTS You will encounter these concepts as you proceed through the notes and activities. Add other words / concepts to expand this list. 4|Page
Refer to money, funds available to be used by the business. Cash items It is the most liquid component of Current Assets. Expenses that does not involve a cash receipt or payment, Non-cash items but listed as an income or expense on financial statements, such as depreciation, bad debts and discount received. Money (cash) generated by the business, expressed as Inflow of cash receipts such as capital, a loan or from sales and debtors. Money (cash) used by the business, expressed as payments Outflow of cash such as buying assets, paying the loan and paying expenses. Reporting period usually a 12-month period. Periodic Financial period reporting during the financial year is also conducted by some businesses, in an effort to assess progress. Liabilities (amounts owing). Could be of a long-term nature Debts (non-current liability) or a short duration (current liability) Shares are issued at different prices (issue price) during the existence of the business. The average share price will take Average share price into account the total share capital ÷ number of shares, at a specific point in time. Management of short term or current assets and current Net working capital liabilities. Dividends Part of the net profit that is distributed to shareholders Provisional tax Cash payments to SARS in respect of income tax that must payments be paid after the net profit is calculated. Statement of Financial Reflects the assets, liabilities and equity of the business at a Position specific date. Also referred to as the Balance Sheet. Statement of Reflects the financial performance of the business for a Comprehensive specified accounting period, in terms of whether the Income business made a profit or a loss. The Report that Directors would present at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders. It will include the Directors Annual Report Report, the Independent Audit Report and the Financial Statements. PRIOR KNOWLEDGE (Content you would have covered in previous Grades) • Cash Receipts and Cash Payments items as introduced in Grade 10; • Types of accounts (Balance Sheet and Nominal accounts); • The Accounting Equation • An understanding of the Income Statement and Balance Sheet (Structure, format, sub-sections and purpose) 5|Page
A REFLECTION OF THE YEAR-END CYCLE OF ACTIVITIES PRE-ADJUSTMENT TRIAL BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS POST – ADJUSTMENT TRIAL CLOSING TRANSFERS BALANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL INCOME POSITION (Income Statement) (Balance Sheet) Note to the Financial Statement CASH FLOW STATEMENT ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION BASELINE ACTIVITY • Make a list of Receipts and Payments that would be recorded in the Cash Journals. • Classify (or group) your list according to Balance Sheet accounts and Nominal Accounts. SUGGESTED ANSWER You may have itemized the Income and expenses; these are groups in the table below. RECEIPTS PAYMENTS Sales (N) Payment of expenses (N) such as Income receipts (N) such as rent income insurance Receipts from debtors (B) Purchase of stock (B) Interest income (N) Payments to creditors (B) Interest payments (N) Tax payments (to SARS) (B) Payment of dividends (B) to shareholders Fixed deposit matures (B) Investing in a fixed deposit (B) Proceeds for sale of fixed asset (N) Purchasing fixed assets (B) Ordinary share capital (B) issue of shares Repurchase of shares (B) Receiving a loan (B) Paying back a loan / or instalments (B) The Receipts and Payments above can be classified into three broad categories that form the basis or structure of the sections in a Cash Flow Statement, as follows: 6|Page

(CAPITAL EXPANSION). Own capital (shares) and Borrowed capital (loans) The Cash Flow Statement essentially provides a detailed break-down of the three activities above, and conclude by showing the impacted on the NET CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, at the bottom of the Statement. WHAT DO I NEED FROM THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO PREPARE THE CASH FLOW STATEMENT? (Keep this checklist in mind when going through the activities that follow) STATEMENT OF NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL FINANCIAL POSITION INCOME STATEMENTS Depreciation Current Assets Fixed Asset note Interest expense Current liabilities Share Capital note Net profit before tax SARS: Income tax Retained income Income tax Shareholders for Dividends Dividends Fixed Assets Fixed Deposit Ordinary Share Capital Non-current liabilities 7|Page
SPECIAL PROVISIONS / EXCEPTIONS (relevant to school syllabus) • Depreciation is the only non-cash item which we must reverse in determining the Cash from operations. • Fixed Deposits is the only investment (financial asset) of the business. • Interest expense on the Income Statement will be equal to the Interest paid for the cash Flow Statement. • Fixed assets will always be sold at carrying value (profit / loss on sale is a non-cash item). 3.2 STRUCTURE OR LAYOUT OF THE CASH FLOW STATEMENT CASH FLOW STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED …… Cash effect of operating activities Cash from the day-to-day 720 000 operations. Based on the profit / loss and the working capital. Generally, a positive amount, or a net inflow. Cash effects of investing activities (940 000) Decisions of directors, about fixed assets and fixed deposits. The brackets indicates a net outflow in this section. Cash effects of financing activities 330 000 Decisions on share capital and loans (non-current liabilities) Net change in cash and cash equivalents 110 000 A difference between the opening bank balance and the Cash and cash equivalents (opening closing balance. It should 56 000 balance) balance with the total of the Cash and cash equivalents (closing three sections above. 166 000 balance) 720 000 + 330 000 – 940 000 = 110 000 OR 166 000 – 56 000 = 110 000 Information relevant to prepare the Cash Flow Statement (refer checklist above) • Specific Information from the Income Statement of the current financial year • Comparative Balance Sheets (two financial years) • Additional information for: o Fixed Assets note (changes / movements will be needed) o Changes to the Share capital (Ordinary Share Capital) o Dividends (from the Retained Income note) 8|Page
3.3 NET CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS would appear under CURRENT ASSETS on the Balance Sheet, indicating a positive (debit) bank balance, or under CURRENT LIABILITIES, If the Bank account is in overdraft, indicating a credit balance in the books of the business. Balance at the end of the previous financial year is EXAMPLE 1: the opening balance of the current financial year Current assets 2021 2020 Inventories 113 800 98 000 Trade and other receivables 78 400 52 000 Cash and cash equivalents 45 800 33 200 Balance at the end of the current financial year, or the closing balance. The difference between the opening balance and the closing balance is an increase of R12 600 (from R33 200 to R45 800). EXAMPLE 2: (Introducing a Bank Overdraft) 2021 2020 Current assets 238 000 153 000 Inventories 113 800 98 000 Trade and other receivables 78 400 52 000 Cash and cash equivalents 45 800 3 000 Current Liabilities 121 200 252 800 Trade and other payables 119 000 218 000 SARS: Income tax 2 200 7 600 Bank overdraft 0 27 200 In this scenario, the business had an overdraft of R27 200 at the end of the previous financial year, and R3 000 under cash and cash equivalents, which is the petty cash and/or cash float. The current financial year reflects a positive balance of R45 800. Calculation of the net change in cash and cash equivalents: Opening balance: – 27 200 + 3 000 = – 24 200 (always find the net amount) Closing balance: = + 45 800 Net change: = + 70 000 This calculation may appear to be tricky when using an equation format. It is therefore useful to establish some ground rules. Study the amounts carefully before attempting Activity 1. 9|Page
Positive (+) to Positive Subtract Difference is either an inflow or an (+) outflow 23 600 to 68 400 44 800 Inflow (a greater closing balance) 55 700 to 36 500 (19 200) Outflow (a smaller closing balance) Negative (-) to Negative Subtract Difference is either an inflow or an (-) outflow 53 500 to 18 200 35 300 Inflow (reduced the overdraft) 45 300 to 66 500 (21 200) Outflow (increased the overdraft) Positive (+) to Negative Add Difference is an outflow (-) 31 300 to (21 200) (52 500) Business spent more than it had, moving into an overdraft. – net outflow Negative (-) to Positive Add Difference is an inflow (-) (11 800) to 39 400 51 200 Business moved from an overdraft to a favourable closing balance. – net inflow ACTIVITY 1: (15 minutes) Complete the table by calculating the missing amounts and indicating an inflow or outflow of cash.

It can, however, be a negative amount, referred as cash UTILISED for operations. 3.4 THE OPERATING ACTIVITIES SECTION HAS FOUR MAIN ITEMS OR COMPONENTS. (1) CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATIONS This is the only Note to the Cash Flow Statement that must be prepared. All other amounts require a calculation, that can be done in any format that is well understood, or a preferred format discussed by your teacher. Note 1: Cash generated from operations Net profit BEFORE TAX 820 Extracted from the Income Statement + Depreciation 50 This is an example of a non-cash item added back, to adjust the new profit to reflect only cash items. You may be aware of many non- cash items, for we will only use this one. + Interest expense / paid 12 This amount is added back here, so that it can be reflected on the Cash Flow Statement Sub-total 882 Net profit before changes in working capital Net change in working capital (30) Cash effect of changes in working capital Change in inventories (20) Working capital is a reflection of the management of current assets and current Change in receivables 30 liabilities in line with the use of cash. Note: these three items are dealt with here due to the other current assets and liabilities being Change in payables (40) dealt with at other sections of the CFS Cash generated from operations* 852 This figure is transferred to the CFS. 11 | P a g e
WORKED EXAMPLE: Calculating the Net change in working capital 2021 2020 R R Current assets 235 900 207 500 Inventories 113 800 98 000 Trade and other receivables 78 400 106 500 Cash and cash equivalents 43 700 3 000 Current Liabilities 121 200 252 800 Trade and other payables 119 000 218 000 SARS: Income tax 2 200 7 600 Bank overdraft 0 27 200 SUGGESTED ANSWER NET CHANGE IN WORKING CAPITAL (86 700) Change (increase) in inventories (98 000 – 113 800) (15 800) Change (decrease) in receivables (106 500 – 78 400) 28 100 Change (decrease) in payables (218 000 – 119 000) (99 000) • A net increase in inventories is an indication that more stock was purchased, than stock that was sold. The difference is therefore an OUTFLOW of cash, shown in brackets. • A net decrease in receivables indicate that receipts from debtors was greater than the total credit sales. The difference is therefore an INFLOW of cash. • A net decrease in payables is an indication that payments to creditors was greater than credit purchases. The difference is therefore an OUTFLOW of cash, shown in brackets. Points to note: ü The Balance Sheet amount for Inventories includes Consumable Stores on Hand. ü For Receivables and Payables, always refer to the Notes (if available) to check for items that are dealt separately, such as SARS: Income tax and Shareholders for Dividends. These must be excluded from the calculations. ü At times a random list of balances is provided. Ensure to include the accruals, prepayments and amounts received in advance in your calculations of Receivables and Payables. ü Referring to the above example, note that the opposite effect to working capital items (increases / decreases) will obviously have the opposite effect on cash (inflow / outflow). 12 | P a g e
ACTIVITY 2: (15 minutes) 2.1 REQUIRED: • Calculate the net change in working capital. • Calculate the net change in cash and cash equivalents INFORMATION: Amounts extracted from the records of Tabile Ltd on the financial year-end. 31 March 31 March 2021 2020 Current Assets R 205 200 R 263 100 Inventories 98 600 134 800 Trade and other receivables 104 600 99 400 Cash and cash equivalents 2 000 28 900 Current Liabilities 174 000 126 200 Trade and other payables 145 900 113 600 SARS: Income tax 9 400 12 600 Bank overdraft 18 700 0 2.2 REQUIRED: (10 minutes) Calculate the net change in Working Capital. Show all workings. INFORMATION: Balances extracted from the records of Vuyi Ltd on 30 April 30 April 2021 30 April 2020 Inventories R 880 000 R 921 000 Trade debtors 329 500 327 000 Trade creditors 387 600 456 000 Accrued income 0 12 000 Accrued expenses 22 400 14 800 Income received in advance 8 000 0 Shareholders for dividends 176 000 133 000 (2) INCOME TAX PAID AND (3) DIVIDENDS PAID The calculation for these two items follow the same principle (or format), and is therefore explained together. They represent an OUTFLOW of cash. • Income tax payments are made to SARS. A reconstruction of the SARS: Income tax account is useful to determine the actual amount that was paid to SARS. The Bank amount on the debit side represents the total PAID to SARS. • The income tax for the year will appear on the Income Statement. If not given, then you will have to calculate the amount using other relevant information that will be provided, such as the tax rate applicable. • SARS: Income tax, opening and closing balances will appear on the comparative Balance Sheet (for each year). 13 | P a g e
• Dividends paid to shareholders, is linked to the Shareholders for Dividends account. • A simple approach (method) is to add the amount due to shareholders at the beginning of the financial year (Shareholders for Dividends, opening balance) and the interim dividends paid during the current financial year. • Interim dividends amount is found on the Retained Income note, and not on the face of any financial statement. At times, additional information is provided by the question, to calculate this amount. WORKED EXAMPLE: Calculating INCOME TAX PAID and DIVIDENDS PAID. Information extracted from the records of Nosipho Ltd. REQUIRED: Calculate the following for the Cash Flow Statement: • Income tax paid • Dividends paid INFORMATION A. Extract from the financial statements 28 February 29 February 2021 2020 Net profit before tax R 1 285 0000 Net profit after tax 899 500 SARS: Income tax 16 500 (Cr) R 13 400 (Cr) Shareholders for dividends 207 000 189 000 Total dividends on the Retained Income note 405 000 SUGGESTED ANSWER WORKINGS: INCOME TAX PAID This is the tax expense for the year ü Income tax for the is R385 500 (1 285 000 – 899 500) and must be paid to SARS. ü The SARS: Income tax (opening balance) is R13 This amount was due to SARS at 400 the beginning of the year. ü The SARS: Income tax (closing balance) is R16 This amount is due to SARS at the 500 end of the financial year 14 | P a g e
Logically, of the R398 900 (R385 500 + 13 400) that should have been paid to SARS, only R16 500 is still outstanding (payable or due). Therefore, R382 400 was actually paid (OUTFLOW). In equation form: 13 400 + 385 500 – 16 500 = 382 400 (signs being reversed is acceptable) Expressed in a Ledger format, the Bank amount of R382 400 is a balancing figure. SARS: Income tax (B12) BANK (amount paid) 382 400 Balance b/d 13 400 Balance c/d 16 500 Income tax 385 500 398 900 398 900 Balance b/d 16 500 Points to note: ü SARS: Income tax can have a debit or credit balance, depending on the provisional payments made during the year. ü A debit balance will be reflected under Current Assets and a credit balance is reflected under Current Liabilities, on the Balance Sheet. ü If the income tax is not given, you will be required to calculate this amount by using the Net Profit amounts and/or the % tax rate, which will be given. DIVIDENDS PAID ü Shareholders for Dividends (opening This is the final dividends of the previous balance) is R189 000 on the Balance financial year, and will be paid during this Sheet. year. If the amount is not given, it must be ü Interim dividends paid is R198 000. calculated. (R405 000 – R207 000) 198 000 (the interim dividend) In equation form: 189 000 + (405 000 – 207 000) = R387 000 (signs can be reversed) Points to note: ü The Shareholders for dividends (opening balance) will always be part of your final answer (paid). ü If the interim dividends amount is given, then you simply add this to the opening balance above. ü Other ways of presenting information to calculate the interim dividends includes the example above. Total dividends = Interim + final dividends. ü Final dividends are declared at the end of the financial year, and is always the closing balance as reflected under Current Liabilities. This will only be paid in the following financial year. ü Alternatively, you could be given the number of shares and the dividends per share. You must determine the number of shares that qualify for interim dividends and multiply by the dividend per share paid. 15 | P a g e
(4) Interest Paid: As interest on loan is capitalised, the amount for the CFS will always be equal to the interest expense amount on the Income Statement. Note that Interest expense is added when preparing the note for CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATIONS and then shown as an OUTFLOW on the Cash Flow Statement. The Cash effects of Operating Activities will be the net amount of the FOUR items discussed above. Find the difference between the positive amount and the negative amounts. 16 | P a g e
ACTIVITY 3: (15 minutes) The information relates to Fezile Ltd for the financial year ended 28 February 2021. REQUIRED: 3.1 Calculate the following amounts for the Cash Flow Statement: • Income tax paid • Dividends paid 3.2 Complete the NET CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS section of the Cash Flow Statement.

On 30 November 2020, the directors issued 180 000 shares at R8,80 each. On 28 February 2021, the share capital comprised 800 000 ordinary shares. D. An interim dividend of 18 cents per share was paid on 30 September 2020. A final dividend was declared on 28 February 2021. * As an extension activity: Calculate the net change in working capital. Calculate the dividend paid (cents), per share, for interim dividends and for final dividends. 17 | P a g e
3.5 THE INVESTING ACTIVITIES SECTION HAS THREE MAIN ITEMS / COMPONENTS: TWO of the three items in this section involve movements in FIXED ASSETS. (1) Funds used to purchase Fixed Assets will be equal to ADDITIONS (at cost) as it appears on the Fixed Assets Note. This represents an OUTFLOW of cash. (2) Proceeds on sale / disposal on fixed assets is equal to DISPOSALS (at carrying value) as it appears on the Fixed Assets Note, and recorded as an INFLOW of cash. This is a special provision of the school syllabus, so that we do not have to deal with a profit / loss on sale of asset (a non-cash item). This is usually presented as additional information. (3) Changes in Fixed Deposit (the only investment in our syllabus) is the third item in this section. An increase is an OUTFLOW of cash and upon maturity (decrease) of the Fixed Deposit, an INFLOW of cash is recorded on the Cash Flow Statement. WORKED EXAMPLE: Calculating Fixed Assets purchased and sold, and changes in Fixed Deposits. The information relates to Mbanjwa Ltd. REQUIRED: • Calculate the Fixed Assets purchased amount for the Cash Flow Statement. • Complete the CASH EFFECTS OF INVESTING ACTIVITIES section of the Statement INFORMATION: A.

Some of the factors you should discuss with your colleagues must include the following: • Identify the DECISIONS that are revealed by the Cash Flow Statement. • Comment on the impact of such decisions on the management of cash (liquidity) OR comment on whether these decisions were good for the business or not. • What are the possible consequences of such decisions to the business or the decision makers (directors)? • Looking at comparative Cash Flow Statements, identify decisions that were taken in the current financial year and not in the previous financial year. Do not comment on the negative. • Provide possible reasons for certain decisions that were taken, such as increase / decrease in the loan, a re-purchase of shares or the sale of fixed assets. 23 | P a g e
4. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS Pre-amble: • Corporate governance is assessed in Paper 1. • The ATP stipulates that aspects of Ethics, Corporate Governance (and Internal Control for P2) must be integrated, where appropriate and relevant, across in all topics. • It is important to note that these aspects may cover specific concepts and ideas, but will generally not require prescriptive responses from prepared notes that is sometimes referred to as “theory”. • These topics (aspects of the content) focuses on practical problem-solving situations that will expect you to interpret the scenarios or case studies provided, and to offer responses that are open-ended in nature, using your general knowledge, common sense as well as creativity. • As such, a variety of correct and appropriate responses would be valid, provided they are supported by good and logical reasons or evidence. • Newspaper articles and current issues are a good sources of information that can be used to develop your skills and confidence to answer such questions, which are often pitched at a higher cognitive level. KEY TERMS, CONCEPTS AND VOCABULARY THAT ARE USEFUL WHEN RESPONDING TO SPECIFIC SCENARIOS GIVEN IN AN ASSESSMENT TASK: Always add new terms to this list • An exercise of ethical and effective leadership by the governing Corporate body towards achieving governance outcomes (King IV) governance • “Corporate” specifically refers to organisations incorporated to form legal entities separate from owners (e.g. shareholders). • Has primary accountability for the governance of an entity and Governing body performance thereof (e.g. the board of directors of a company). • Obligation to answer for the execution of responsibilities. This Accountability cannot be transferred (such as responsibilities). • When a director is in a situation where he or she has a personal Conflict of interest interest which competes against that of the company at which he or she is a director. Independence • Unbiased judgement or absence of interest. • Free of influence or personal interest / gain from a situaition • Being honest and to have strong moral principles. Integrity • Impacts on the reliability and usefulness of information presented in financial statements and reports. • Individuals or groups that can reasonably be significantly Stakeholders affected by organisation’s activities and outputs (both internal and external) • Openness; a willingness by the company to provide clear information to shareholders and other stakeholders, and to Transparency engage them in aspects affecting their well-being. • To disclose financial performance figures which are truthful and accurate. 24 | P a g e
• Prepare a report to be included in the annual financial statements describing how the committee carried out its Audit committee functions, stating whether the auditor was independent, and commenting on the financial statements, accounting practices and internal financial control measures of the company. • Oversee the establishment and implementation of a Remuneration remuneration (earnings) policy for directors, that articulates committee and gives effect to its direction on fair, responsible and transparent remuneration. What do we understand by the concept “Corporate Governance”? Extract from 2021 May/June NSC Accounting P1 Explain what is meant by good corporate governance and explain why it is important to the shareholders. Explanation PP • Managing the business on sound business and ethical principles; • Looking after the interest of all role players / stakeholders (including the community) by being fair, equitable, transparent. • Ensure that the company has proper rules, policies and practices to create long term shareholder value, and are implementing them Importance to shareholders P • Impact on the image of the business / goodwill • Improvement in share price • Potential investors will be attracted • Confidence in management and control 3 Corporate governance: A structure of rules, practices and procedures or processes used to direct and manage a company The Primary Driving Force is the BOARD OF DIRECTORS Bad corporate governance Can cast doubts on a company’s operations and ultimately its profitability – this would have a snowballing effect on other aspects such as investor confidence, image of the business, demand for the shares, impression of customers and the general public. 25 | P a g e
It is clear from the above Question that Corporate Governance is concerned with: • The effective, responsible and ethical management of a business • It will take into consideration all role players, such as managers (directors), the owners (shareholders), the community, creditors and suppliers, customers, the employees and the unions. • The business must have sound policies, rules and procedures which are clear to all the relevant stakeholders, and these policies must be seen to be implemented as intended • Important concepts that must be adhered to in carrying out duties and responsibilities involve, transparency, accountability, equitable, realistic, and fairness. • In executing their responsibilities, the Board of Directors of a company will form a number of committees and assign them specific powers. Some of these committees are prescribed by the Companies Act, such as the audit committee and the remuneration committee. Other committees may be introduced by the company due to specific needs, such as a disciplinary committee, environmental affairs committee or a social committee etc. The business as a part of the broader community: Good corporate governance ensures that a company plays its vital role as a member of the community in which it exists (King code). • The TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE: o Businesses are expected to pay attention to PROFITS, the COMMUNITY (PEOPLE) in which it operates, and the ENVIRONMENT (PLANET); sometimes expressed as PPP. o Corporate social responsibility (CSR): Allocating funds for community development such as donating funds to needy organisations, providing training and engaging in research to improve the environment. • The WATCH-DOG roles: o Because the general public invest in companies by buying shares, the books of a company must be audited by an independent auditor. They are expected to prepare an unbiased report based on an audit of the company’s books and internal controls. o Executive and non-executive directors: non-executive directors are appointed to serve on the Board, but they do not work at the company. They are expected to provide an objective view on strategies and not be influenced by executive directors. The chairman of the Board is a non-executive director. 26 | P a g e
Professional Bodies: The concept of ‘Professional Bodies’ is most relevant when commenting on the Independent Auditors. The fact that these auditors are appointed by shareholders to look after their interest makes it necessary for them to be members of a reputable body that has high professional standards and a code of conduct. They are expected to have no interest (vested interest / conflict of interest) in the company. This would ensure that they would not be tempted to engage in any unethical or illegal practices. Examples of professional bodies are SAICA, SAIPA and IRBA. Ethics Businesses are expected to be run on sound ethical principles (doing what is right and fair, and does not harm or disadvantages others). However, there are many examples of unethical practices reported in the news and other publications. Some may be considered as minor infringements whilst others will be regarded as ‘white collar’ crimes. Some terms that you should be familiar with includes ‘fraud’, ‘embezzlement’ ‘money laundering’ ‘nepotism’ ‘corruption’, ‘bribery’, and ‘under-handed’. You can add other words as you come across them in class discussions or in the news. RECENT EXAMINATION QUESTIONS: The composition of the Board of Directors Explain why it is important for a company to include non-executive as well as executive directors on the Board of Directors. TWO points PP PP part marks for incomplete / unclear / partial answers • Executive directors are involved with internal functioning (operations) of the company / hands-on / decisions may be based on a narrow view. • Non-executive directors have a wider perspective of the business environment; and act in the best interest of the company. • They would exercise a watch-dog role; keep executive directors on check. • More regular inputs than an internal auditor. • Their inputs would be unbiased and independent. • Need to protect their positions by closely monitoring internal processes. • Executive directors would be more vigilant and professional in their duties / not tempted to engage in unethical activities. • More directors on the board = more opinions which could benefit the company. • The non-executive directors - paid less than the other directors 4 27 | P a g e
The purpose / need for committees According to the Companies Act, 2008 (Act 71 of 2008), a company must have a Remunerations Committee. Explain the role/responsibility of this committee and give a reason why this committee is necessary. EXPLANATION: P Review all salaries, bonuses and other earnings To prevent directors from paying themselves too much They must approve, and give advice on the proposals re fees, bonuses etc. REASON: PP • To ensure fairness / transparency in the payment of fees/salaries • To prevent fraud / corruption / wastage • Detect mismanagement or fraudulent activities • They can compare the remuneration / earnings against financial information of other companies in the industry (comparability) 3 “The need for policy to protect stakeholders and to be transparent” Directors engage with clients on a regular basis in an effort to negotiate contracts and to increase sales and services. Explain why there should be a company policy for all gifts, donations or favours received by the directors from clients to be declared to the board by the directors concerned. Provide TWO points. TWO points PP PP part marks for incomplete / unclear / partial answers • Transparency in awarding contracts, tenders or appointing service providers; • Could result in not appointing the best suited client for the job / not adhering to or flouting company policy. • Policy would prevent colluding with service providers; • Directors / service providers would know the consequences of not abiding by policy and therefore not be tempted to engage in fraudulent activities / corruption. • This could be viewed as bribery for contracts. • This could be viewed as nepotism (if family and friends involved) • To protect the image of the business. • Conflict of interest (which could be corrupt / fraudulent). 4 28 | P a g e
A ‘self-centred’ director – not acting in the best interest of the company Scenario: At the AGM, many shareholders complained that the Remunerations Committee had been negligent in their duties and that Anton Buys (CEO) did not deserve the fees that he was paid. State TWO different points to justify their opinion. Quote figures or financial indicators. (4) Directors' fees: 2021 2020 Director's fees paid to CEO R2 900 000 R2 000 000 Total fees paid to 5 other directors R3 000 000 R3 000 000 Financial indicators: Earnings per share 54 cents 102 cents Dividends per share 25 cents 90 cents Net asset value per share 732 cents 711 cents Return on average shareholders' equity 4,9% 5,3% Return on average capital employed 6,4% 9,1% Expected response: State TWO different points to justify the opinion of shareholders. Quote figures or financial indicators. TWO valid points P P figure P P POINT 1 Compulsory point: comment on directors’ fees • Buys has given himself a 45% increase (Remuneration Committee did not do their duty) - collusion is possible • R900 000 increase is 50% more than fee of other directors / • Other directors did not receive an increase (maintained at R600 000 each) POINT 2 Possible additional response. Any ONE of: • EPS dropped (from 102c) to 54c (by 48c); • ROSHE dropped (from 5,3%) to 4,9% • ROTCE dropped (from 9,1%) to 6,4%; 4 An under-handed “deal” Extracted and adapted: Nov 2019 In the following scenario, the CFO engaged in an unethical transaction to buy an unpopular brand of television sets, thereby placing the company in a liquidity risk position. During April 2019, while George (CEO) was in hospital, Bruce Swann (the chief financial officer) decided to include television sets in their product range. He was able to secure bulk discounts from Roseway on two TV set models, namely LYN and KYA. An employee of Roseway told George that Bruce received a 10% “commission” from Roseway for buying their excess stock. George wants to discuss this at the next board meeting. Explain THREE different concerns that George would have about this problem. 29 | P a g e
“Reading between the lines” George (CEO) was in hospital and he was not available to supervise or over-see decisions taken by other senior managers and some managers may take this opportunity to engage in corruption (cat is away...). The appearance/ misconception is that this is a good deal. The employee of Roseway is an example of a "whistle-blower". A 10% commission is not really a "commission"- but actually a bribe, or compensation for engaging in a fraudulent transaction. There is excess stock that they could not sell such as the television sets and is therefore transferring this problem to another business. Possible responses Explain THREE different concerns that George would have about this problem. Three valid points PP PP PP part-marks for partial or incomplete answers • Senior director (the CFO) is engaging in fraud and corruption (accepting bribes) • Unethical behaviour of CFO has compromised the resources of the company placing it at risk • The image of the company will be negatively affected – will affect the share price and further investments from potential investors • High stock value. Televisions are not popular – cash is tied up in stock that is not selling. • Shareholders may want to sell their shares – causing market price to drop • Business will lose goodwill as it is unethical. – lose customers. SUGGESTIONS TO DEVELOP SKILLS 1. Read widely (newspaper, magazines, YouTube, etc), keep abreast of current trends in the economy and topical items in the news. 2. Make time for discussion with peers – do not be afraid to ask questions 3. Always respond in the language of assessment (English and Afrikaans) 4. Build a glossary of new words or terms you come across and note their meanings 5. Analyse reports, articles and financial information for key words, hints and implied messages 6. Practice writing in full sentences – be clear and to-the-point. 30 | P a g e

8. EXAMINATION GUIDANCE (SPECIFIC TO CASH FLOW STATEMENT) 1. The Cash Flow Statement is generally tested as an application-type question that involve many calculations for the different amounts required for each section. 2. It is also combined with a few calculations of financial indicators. 3. All Accounting questions follow the same layout. The “REQUIRED” is provided first, followed by the “INFORMATION” needed to answer the questions. Some of the information provided may not be required for any calculations. These, we call “distractors”. Do not be confused. 4. The sub-questions are repeated in the ANSWER BOOK, to assist with time management. Take note of specific information included in the ANSWER BOOK. If columns or spaces on statements are shaded, this indicates that you are not required to calculate those amount and that those amounts have no bearing on the answers required. 5. You should read the sub-questions carefully and underline the relevant information such as verbs (what are you expected to do) and key dates to ensure that you use the correct number of months in your calculations. 6. Since all the information to answer the sub-question is presented separately (below the required), you must be able to identify the specific, relevant information that is needed to answer each sub-question; example, to calculate the Income Tax Paid, you will need the income tax amount (on the Income Statement) and the SARS: Income Tax amounts (from the Balance Sheet). This skill is mastered through regular practice. 7. Strike out all the amounts you have used, as these may not be used in other calculations. 8. Show all workings, to ensure that maximum part marks can be achieved. 9. Use your answers in following calculations (where applicable); method marks will apply in such instances. 10. If the question requires you to complete the Cash Flow Statement, ensure that you use brackets to show the outflow of cash. 11. Do not rely on the formula sheet totally, as the names of the financial indicators are not provided. E.g. If the question requires you to calculate the current ratio, the formula sheet will show: Current Assets : Current Liabilities, and not mention current ratio. 54 | P a g e
9. GENERAL STUDY AND EXAMINATION TIPS 1. Note that Accounting is now assessed in TWO papers; • P1 Financial Reporting and Evaluation 150 marks 2 hours • P2 Managerial accounting and internal controls 150 marks 2 hours 2. It is important to be familiar with the specific content for each paper so that you can plan your revision effectively for examinations. Note that certain topics will be relevant for Paper 1 and Paper 2, and is also integrated with topics in the same paper. 3. Obtain many past examination papers, the examination guidelines and exemplar papers to form the basis of your study programme. 4. Prepare a functional study time table and focus on specific topics at different intervals. Align this to time management; exploring short-cuts for calculations, frequently asked predictable questions and recommended responses for interpretive questions. 5. Pay careful attention to the language used in past papers such as content-specific vocabulary and action verbs. 6. For calculations, always show detailed workings – they carry many part marks. 7. Familiarize yourself with the structure and layout of Questions. They follow the same pattern which is: Appetizer à Required à Information. 8. Note that the ANSWER BOOK is a vital part of the Question Paper, as many amounts and details will be included for most Questions. This is a time-saving device. Ensure that you include these amounts in your final answers, where relevant. 9. Always arrive at least 30 minutes before the commencement of the paper. You will then be able to easily take care of all the administration requirements and to make effective use of your 10 minutes reading time. 10. Use the reading time to get a global picture of the paper, and identify where you wish to start (according to your strengths). You already have the ANSWER BOOK to assist in this regard. Simply go to the relevant pages for that Question. 11. You can also answer the sub-questions in any order; always inserting what is given, working from the simple to the more challenging. 12. Write legibly and neatly; markers must be clear about your answers. 13. Keep your comments short and to-the-point. The mark allocation is your guide about the expected length of your response. 14. Have your own stationery and a good calculator (even a spare – just in case). 55 | P a g e
